The Ottoman Empire has weakened and Greece is heading towards revolution as Ali’s daughter-in law Eleni, helps Marcos escape and instructs him to go to her father Ibrahim Pasha of Berat.
In doing so, Marcos heads to Gardiki and reunites with the remaining Greeks and learns that his sister has married his best friend, Photo and is about to have a baby.
